Patrick Roberts!

This is definitely the case. Everyone's playing for themselves just now, we don't play as a team under Ronny. We totally rely on individual pieces of skill.

Griffiths is probably the most obvious example. He's almost totally chucked passing the ball and will shoot from ridiculous positions. Roberts does the same and snubs Griffiths more often than he should. Terrible management.

 

Will do well under another manager with better players in a different system.

Gets skinned all the time.....if he gets away he's a danger. Losing possession too easily right now.

 

This is very true. Thought it was going to become a problem when I first saw him and it is happening already right in front of us.

He needs to play with the likes of Christie, Allan and Rogic. We saw this before when 3 of them came on towards the end of the game and stole the show with the last 15 minutes. They and Rogic are good technical players that have good footballing brains. It was criminal that we never got to see that combination again, that was the last time I felt remotely positive about the future.

The likes of Johansen, GMS, Kazim Richards, Brown, Griffiths aren't great for that and most of the time aren't on his wavelength.

Roberts needs to work on his right foot and mix it up a bit but he's one of our best players and at least looks to create something. I'm not going to give him slack - he's an 18 year old who plays for Man City and still one of the only guys taking responsibility.

 

try again

 

Spot on.....I'd switch him throughout games for this reason

 

can he play through the middle??

 

Nice to get back among the goals and help the team to another 3 points #5inarow

 

Good player, be interesting to see how he gets on next season, wouldnt be suprised if he managed to get about 20 goals over a whole season. Could probably have 5/6 already for us and has only played about 7/8 games.

 

Couldn't care less that he sometimes loses the ball, I love the way he properly takes people on using skill. He isn't just putting the head down and sprinting aimlessly. You can see the quality he has very clearly.

 

Took the goal well but he struggled in that 2nd half. He's also a * bag :smiley-laughing002:

I like him though, he'll be important next season

 

Scottish football would have labelled Messi a shitebag when he was coming through.

 

Its true though he is lightweight, also I notice he doesn't seem switched on off the ball. Other players are always smartly shutting down a player but he seemed to not know what to do, like there are time CKR closes down and Griffiths closes down the next option and Roberts is standing with his thumb up his * and leaving the left back miles open so it's pointless that CKR and Griffiths are closing down when they have the option to pass to the left back.

 

You need a balance in your team, although I think the word 'shitebag' does get used too often.

 

Just read somewhere that he's asking to be excused from English international duty (under 21's or whatever) so he can play in the champions league qualifiers for us. Glad to hear it.

Not read the link, trusting your post here but that is a great attitude from an 18 year old on loan. Determined to prove his worth for club and at the top level. Good on you Patrick.

He playing with the number 27 yeah?
Who currently has 25? Think it would be a nice wee nod if we gave him that for next season. Not as sacred as the 7, but its a number that is still appropriate for his ability and type of player

He's gonna be immense when he gets coached to improve his decision making. He clearly already has the technical ability.

 

I like him He's a decent wee player he's no aiden mcgeady though
